Cream puffs, themselves are super easy to make. I remember making them for the first time as a tweener, and was shocked how easy they were to prepare.
I think if there is one lesson to be learned from making cream puffs, it’s to make sure you don’t under-bake them, or they will deflate after a few minutes of being pulled out of the oven.
Bummer! You know I like to under-bake, but these puffs are not one of those desserts to do that with because you’ll end up getting an eggy-texture-type cream puff.
